As we navigate the convenience of quick meals in our bustling lives, many of us have come to rely on the simplicity and comfort of instant noodles. A staple in many Australian pantries, particularly for those who appreciate a quick, tasty snack without the fuss, Mi Goreng instant noodles have been a go-to choice. However, a recent recall has raised concerns about the safety of these beloved noodles, reminding us that even the most seemingly innocuous products can harbour hidden dangers.
The recall in question involves two popular brands of Mi Goreng instant noodles that were available at the Laguna QV Supermarket in Victoria. The first is the Indomie Mi Goreng Rasa Rendang, with a best before date of December 23, 2024. The second is the five-pack of Mi Goreng Aceh, marked with a best before date of December 25, 2024. The reason for the recall is serious: both products contain undeclared allergens that could pose a significant health risk to those with sensitivities.
For those unfamiliar with the term, an allergen is a substance that can cause an allergic reaction. In the case of the recalled noodles, the undeclared allergens include milk, prawn, fish, and egg. If you have purchased either of these Mi Goreng instant noodle products, you are urged not to consume them if you have allergies or intolerances to the undeclared allergens. Instead, you should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. If you have already consumed the product and are concerned about your health, it is advised that you seek medical attention promptly.
